He wants to abolish federal tax for all those making 200k or below. That's a bit more than 600 bucks

Makes sense. We just raised the debt ceiling and continue to run a deficit.

How about a tax cut for the working man?

However we can pass these loaves of bread out to the masses and they will cheer for me.

You’re going to need to vote out current DA’s and city leadership. That will require a different method outside of the government reach. Just throwing money at things won’t do a damn thing of no one will prosecute the crimes

agree 100%

-30% on directly fighting crime (human trafficking, organized crime not some square smoking a blunt)

-70% on infrastructure hardening (electrical then civil)

Pay back 50% to the people and 50% to debt. Makes the people keep voting for it. Stimulating the economy at the same time.

So in other words, give the money to the States so they can piss it away on catfish farms and 4 lane highways to nowhere

Feds should not be "writing checks" to anyone when we are 40t in debt and adding trillions more each year. "Writing a check" just means the government is borrowing and printing more money, leading to more inflation

Estimated Lifetime Federal Tax Contributions (Middle Income)
According to recent data:
- Middle income range: Roughly $41,900 to $80,000 annually
- Average middle-income earnings: About $59,757/year
- Federal income tax paid annually: Around $10,391
Assuming:
- You worked 40 years
- Your income stayed within the middle range
- You had standard deductions and no major tax credits
You likely paid:

$10,391/year × 40 years = **$415,640** in federal income taxes

This doesn’t include:
- Payroll taxes (Social Security and Medicare)
- State and local taxes
- Indirect taxes (sales, property, etc.)


I'll take the estimated $415,640* please, preferably in Gold.

While I don’t like being taxed at historic levels, if they are going to do it, I completely agree about what they should do with our money.

Doesn’t make me happy... everybody getting the same thing puts no one ahead, we all stand where we started and no improvements made.

Sorry but not all Americans piss money like you do. A lot of Americans have been devastated the past 2-3 years due to no jobs available and very high inflation

If you remember correctly, millions of illegals were hired by companies because they could pay them a lot cheaper than American workers. Do you remember that happening?

Considering that Obama, Jill Biden and Kamala Harris were not the real President, they were the ones who fricked up the employment situation in this country. Whatever Trump decides to give relief to will be well worth it in my opinion. It might not benefit you because everybody knows that you are loaded with money, but it will help out millions to be able to have a little bit of cushion before their next rent is due while stimulating this economy which is desperately needed

NO,
instead leverage gas tax for roads as those using it most should support more of the improvement !
as business managers tell the worker "its not personal its just business" and trump should like as he is all about business ?
